IMPACT OF ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT ON A LABOUR RELATION SCENARIO The Economic Conditions Macroeconomics focuses on changes in the economy such as studies the behavior and overall performance of an economy -broad matter, such as expansion, unemployment, and growth. These days’ macroeconomic plans have put huge impact on industrial relations. Almost all firms have been affected by noninterference or social control. it also put affect on industries in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which promotes free trade in goods and services among Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Where unions are not present, human forces will largely determine allowance, earnings, and conditions of employment. In some conditions, the demand for labour matches its supply. A little bit raise in wages causes a large increase in the furnish of employment, the demand curve is said to be flexible.. The range to which demand is inflexible is the extent to which unions can exert power over wages and working conditions. Moreover demand is more likely to be inelastic when the following occur: n Product markets are less competitive—say, in the case of a niche market demanding specialized worker skills. n It’s harder to substitute labour for capital, as in a case where human labour can’t feasibly be exchanged for automated production. n Labor costs are small relative to the total costs of production. n Markets for product substitutes aren’t terribly competitive. The supply of labour varies in terms of variables that include the following: n Population and immigration. Canada is becoming increasingly multinational as foreigner, especially from Asia, is replacing the aspects of working labour. Individuals try to make a balance between lifestyle and making a way of life. Finding the issues is not that much easy task, but truly it disturbs the nature of the workforce. 1. How the changing workforce impact unions?

The employees who are in the industrial sector, organized labor unions used to fight over the issues for good salaries, minimum hours of working and good environment at the workplace. The collective bargaining helps to finish the child labour, give medical facilities and helps to give aid to employees those who were injured at the workplace or retired. 2. How the impact of different governments on legislation and public sector bargaining? Thus, the new labor relations policy on state and local public sector collective bargaining has two dominant governing: first is how authorities interfere with regulation of the state and local labor relations and collective bargaining by the Federal Government and secondly; less federal assistance, both commercially and otherwise. These two themes are not referable solely to the Reagan Administration. Thus these were clear indicators that these above policies entitled trends that began prior to Reagan's election. 3. How did the economic environment on labour relations improve the working condition for workers? collective bargaining lessen the salaries inequality because they raise wages more for low- and middle-wage employees than for higher-wage employees, more for skilled than unskilled workers, and more for employees who do not have a college degree. Good built unions set a pay standard that nonunion employers follow. To illustrate, a high school post graduate whose workplace is not unionized but whose industry is 25% unionized is paid 5% more than similar workers in less unionized firms. 4. How are non-standard work arrangements difficult to unionize? Example those employees who are in the non-standard jobs also earn so less as well as get less security benefits, as they often do not meet thresholds on contributions or benefits. Non-standard workers are also less likely to join a trade union, either because of legal obstruction to join or they fear retribution. For example: Employees in non-standard jobs face difficulties to join a union and are not covered by agreements like collective bargaining because of the lack of representation....
